There's hazing and then there is something called assault.
Also from the article.

The suspension of the program came three months after NMSU forward Mike Peake shot and killed a University of New Mexico student in what police called self-defense.

Troubled times for the Aggies.

NMSU is a dumpster fire

This year has been really bad. They are 2-16 in conference and 9-15 overall.
In prior years though they've had some success.

Soft AF culture.

Shooting and hazing.. these events might be related.

I'm sure the coach knows about the hazing.

I gotta take that story at face value even if it’s only one side of the story. If this team was winning like last year & had a legit chance at the dance, they wouldn’t have canceled their season. I call them cowards from my POV.

IDK JDS. I'd get a little pissed if 3 guys felt the need to get after my scrotum.

I wouldn't mind being a team player but, that's a little over the top. Just saying.

Now this I agree with. If your culture comment was about the school cancelling the season, then yes. I think that was a mistake. Think about the other 11 players not involved in this event. They just got screwed out of 6 games.

What about when they do resume play again?

Do they really think all of the other players are going to be able to coexist with the one guy crying about all of this?

No Way, he better find another school who will accept him

 

[Wagerallsports]

It says they only exposed his butt

The scrotum touching must have been by accident or via outside of his clothed

I think this part exaggerates the story

Sounds like they just exposed his ass and spanked it a little bit

No Way

I see your point but, if I was the "victim", I'd ask the rest of the team, would you let it happen to you?

If they all said "Yes", then two things would happen:
1. The "victim" would have to transfer to another school.
2. We would have just established the first all gay mens college basketball team in Div 1.

Every story ever told in the world is fudged from both sides to benefit themselves.

I'm assuming it did happen to several other players and they were okay with it

It didn't just start with this player who is the first one to complain

But yes I agree everyone is different and something like that bothers some more than others

To be honest there's probably more about this player personally that would make sense of it all

Oh hell, what I'm trying to say is maybe he hasn't come out of the closet yet LOL

As you and JDS indicated, there could be a lot of backstory we're not getting into this situation. Could be something everyone on the team goes through. Unfortunately, this stuff isn't allowed anymore.
